Splinter Cell Reboot Idea/Script?!http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/1235167-Splinter-Cell-Reboot-Idea-Script-!?goto=newpost

The past couple of weeks I've been working on a script for a new Splinter Cell game/series of games, in my spare time, that would reboot the franchise with a new main protagonist however would also potentially allow Michael Ironside to return as the voice as Sam Fisher. Although I do not have a degree in creative literature or anything, I have gained the backing of Splinter Cell fan channel 'Channel Hotmonkey' who really enjoyed my script (I think:L). Anyway below I will post a general synopsis I initially sent him.
Admittedly it's a little brief and unspecific, and too much like a synopsis you'd see on IMDB, however, I'd love to hear your thoughts!

You (player) plays as ****** (no name currently), a new character to the franchise. Sam Fisher is still head of 4th Echelon, however not active in the field anymore. Other characters include Anna Grimmsdottir and other analysts X and Y (names unnecessary currently). Cyber intelligence is a key aspect of the game's storyline, with secrets of 4th E and other Secret services being leaked online by an unknown organisation. As a result many secret operations around the world are at risk. It is up to 4th Echelon to stop this threat – as 4th Echelon's covert nature means that they are more suitable than other government agencies - however it is all made more complicated, with Sam Fisher and the team under severe pressure from the US Government, with questions of 4th Echelon's importance in modern espionage in an age of increased cyber intelligence being raised. Moles, deceit, death and other twists and turns along the way will put strains on relationships in, and out of 4th Echelon.

Here is some of my 'train-of-thought' on the matter as well.... Splinter Cell has always been regarded as a more “realistic” stealth series, as opposed to the likes of 'Metal Gear Solid' etc. There is a line, in the original Splinter Cell (2001) which goes “You have a right to freedom of speech,freedom of worship; from want,from fear. These rights would not exist without a fifth, the right to protect all other freedoms, by whatever means necessary. It is my freedom, it is my duty, it is my war.” There is also another line which (I believe) is important, featured on the back of the original box: “Your name is Sam Fisher and you are the best field operative of a secretive NSA sub-agency. Sent to execute desperate missions, your the last resort of your government. Should you be captured or killed, all knowledge of you existence will be denied. You are a Splinter Cell” These two quotes should be considered throughout the development process part to the game, both in a story context and gameplay. Other themes include privacy, the cost of freedom to all, friendship/betrayal etc with real-life parallels to events being drawn constantly to add to the realism. Characters exploration is also crucial, with more being learned about the motives of all characters, and all can be sympathised with, even the 'bad-guys'.
